 Situation
The company Desmontes del Cinca, S.L. headquartered in Biné-
far (Huesca, Spain) specialises in surveying work and the crea-
tion of topographic models of terrain, and today is an important
regional provider of earthmoving and general construction serv-
ices. Founded in 1976, the company has grown considerably and
enjoyed a truly prosperous time, since the assumption of man-
agement responsibility by Rámon Fernández, the current Man-
aging Director, in 1997. Today, the company is active primarily
in Aragon and Catalonia in the north-eastern part of the Iberian
peninsula. The region around the city of Lérida, which is known
for its orchards, is one of the most important agricultural regions
in Spain.
Task
To ensure a sustainable improvement of the water supply in the
north-eastern part of Spain, plans call for construction of an ir-
rigation canal from the Segarra plateau to the Garrigues region.
The 3,500 km of pipe, 43 retention ponds and 17 pumping sta-
tions will supply over 17,000 irrigated plots of land in 70 com-
munities. In construction stage 13, the contract for creating four
reservoirs was awarded to the company Desmontes del Cinca,
S.L. Construction, this work is anticipated to take 3 years. The
construction work will require the use of dumpers, wheel load-
ers, motorgraders, excavators and crawler tractors, including one
each of the excavators R 954 and A 904, as well as a PR 754
crawler tractor from Liebherr.

Solution
Most of the material at the construction site is limestone in various
sizes that must be moved and profiled to create the reservoirs.
Since a motorgrader could not be considered for material trans-
port and grading because of the hard subsurface layers, Des-
montes del Cinca decided to employ a Liebherr PR 754 crawler
tractor.
To move the rock precisely and simultaneously maximise produc-
tivity, the PR 754 was equipped with a 3-D control system based
on GPS technology. This way, a tractor in the 40 t class can be
used for fine levelling with an accuracy of 1.5 cm. A day’s work in
a 10 to 11 hour shift is an exceptional 4,500 to 5,000 m3 of ma-
terial that is removed by 4 dumpers, each with a capacity of 40
tonnes, and all of this with the certainty that the required profile for
the terrain is being provided with the greatest accuracy.
Thanks to its electronically controlled hydrostatic drive, the
Liebherr PR 754 Litronic crawler tractor delivers maximum grad-
ing and ripping capability, even in the harshest operating condi-
tions. The cooling system operates independently of the diesel
engine and provides cooling as needed to guarantee maximum
availability, even at high ambient temperatures, low noise levels
and especially low fuel consumption. Compared to the conven-
tional approach with a motorgrader, it was possible to nearly triple
the daily output.
Furthermore, the PR 754 can be used also for clearing, ripping
and grading with its capacity of 1,200 m3 (ripping and grading) to
2,000 m3 (clearing and grading). Today, the Desmontes del Cinca
employees responsible for this project appreciate that, thanks to
the Liebherr machinery being used and the very innovative proce-
dures employed on-site, construction will be completed one year
earlier, that is, in 2 years.
